Descendents of William Agnew & Isabella Cail

William Agnew was born about 1786 in Galloway, Scotland, and was 75 on the 1861 Census of Weldford Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada.

He arrived at Brown's Yard on the Richibucto River, Kent County, New Brunswick in 1819 as a Pilot (the person who navigates ocean going vessels through river channels). From his land grant petition we have learned that he served in the Royal Navy for three years. Family tradition has him marrying Isabella Cail aboard ship as she was emigrating from Westmoreland, England to New Brunswick. They died sometime between 1861-1871 as they are not on the 1871 Census of Kent County.
